I move amendment No. 33:

In page 44, between lines 34 and 35, to insert the following:“(a) in subsection (2), by inserting after paragraph (aa) (inserted by section 35(a) of the the following:

“(ab) make bye-laws to provide for matters relating to the use of tugboats in fishery harbour centres, including minimum requirements in relation to equipment on board and the qualifications and training required of the crew of tugboats,”,”.

This introduced a number of technical amendments to the Fishery Harbour Centres Act 1968, again on the request of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. It is intended to make a further technical amendment and provide that Minister will a new power under the Fishery Harbour Centres Act to make by-laws relating to towage within fishery harbours.
